Abstract: The formation of a rural settlement network of a territory is a complex process that goes through several stages in its formation. Each stage is determined by a set of factors that influence the map of rural areas with varying intensity. In the post-Soviet period, one of the main factors is demographic changes, which not only determine the socio-economic appearance of rural settlements, but also their viability in general. The demographic changes that determine the formation of the map of rural settlements in the conditions of post-Soviet society include changes in the size of the rural population, changes in the population of rural settlements, and changes in the number and composition of private households. In 1939 – 2020 The rural population of the region is steadily declining, which is due to both natural and migration loss. The areas where the largest decline in the rural population occurred include the northern and central regions of the region. An analysis of the population of rural settlements shows that the number of settlements with a population of 200 to 2000 people is steadily decreasing, while small settlements are growing at the same time. The greatest changes occurred on the map of the Tarsky and Ust-Ishim regions. An analysis of the number and composition of private households showed that the number of private households in 2002 - 2020. steadily declining; a reduction in the number of their members is also recorded. The number of one-person households is growing, while the number of other types of households is steadily declining. The result of these processes is, first of all, a reduction in the population of rural settlements, and therefore the preconditions arise for their disappearance from the map of the region.
